Two companies in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar (BSMSN), the country’s largest industrial city in Chattogram, have gone into production this year while two others are gearing up for production next year. Ferdous Wahid, assistant engineer of Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (Beza), told The Business Standard (TBS), “Asian Paints Bangladesh Ltd started production in April this year and Nippon-McDonald – a joint venture company of Japanese Nippon Steel Corporation and Bangladeshi McDonald Steel Building Products Ltd – went into production earlier in March. The paints and steel sheets produced by these companies are being supplied in the domestic market. Nippon-McDonald set up the steel factory on 10 acres of land with an investment of Tk114 crore. It began trial production on 25 January. McDonald Steel’s Project Manager Abdullah Al Mamun told TBS that the company delivered the first consignment of 20 tonnes of steel to the Bangladesh Bridge Authority on 23 March. Production has continued ever since. Mild steel plates are being manufactured in this factory.
